Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment at FAIR: Probing Dense Nuclear Matter

This presentation discusses the physics case, feasibility studies, and detector research and development of the Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment at FAIR. It explores the states of strongly interacting matter, such as quark-gluon matter and compressibility of nuclear matter, and their relevance to neutron stars and the early universe. The talk also mentions the mapping of the QCD phase diagram through heavy-ion collisions and the measurement of various particles and their properties.
